Seeds Market By Type (Oilseed, Grain, Fruit & Vegetable, Turf, Forage, & Other Seeds), Seed Trait (Herbicide Tolerant, Insecticide Resistant, & Other Stacked Traits) & Geography - Global Trends & Forecast To 2018
The global seed market is projected to be valued at $85,237.6 million by 2018 and is growing with a CAGR of 12.1% from 2013 to 2018. The size of the global seeds market was derived by forecasting techniques based on segments of the entire market, such as seed types, share of biotech trait seeds, area under crop cultivation, and trade between various geographical regions. The global seed market is segmented into oilseed, grain seed, fruit and vegetable and others. Major crops under oilseed such as soybean, sunflower, canola, and cotton have been analyzed in this report. Crops under grain seed such as corn, wheat, rice, and millet are also studied. Crops under vegetables include tomato, onion, melon, brassica, pepper, lettuce, carrot, etc.
North America is the largest seeds market in the world, in terms of revenue, and is projected to grow rapidly. Latin America is the fastest growing market for seed. China, Brazil, and India are also important countries for this market, adopting new technologies to grow faster. Globally, India is projected to be the fastest growing market during the period under consideration for the scope of this report.
The grain seeds market held maximum share in 2012 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2013 to 2018. For grain seed, corn covers the largest market share followed by soybean under the crop segment which shared 70.4% of the total grain seed market in 2012, growing with the fastest CAGR of 12.5%. Grain seed dominated for seed with trait market in 2012, growing with a CAGR of 10.5% for the period under review. In 2012, maximum traits were developed in corn crop; approximately 52.5% of total seeds with trait. Herbicide tolerant trait is the most applied trait under the seed with trait market followed by insect resistant trait. It held 42.2% share in 2012 and is growing with the fastest CAGR of 16.5% from 2013 to 2018.
The key driving factors for seeds market are - continually growing world population, increasing advanced agricultural technologies, decreasing per capita land availability, and high return on investment. Demand for hybrid seed is increasing globally as these biotech trait seeds provide benefits like helping the crop sustain extreme climatic conditions.
Seed market is primarily driven by the consumption of seeds with traits which is gaining awareness among the farmers. Oilseed and grain seeds are key segments of the global market. The market is driven by many reasons such as the pressure of continuously increasing population, maximum production with limited available land, effective advanced technologies, crop losses, and extensive expenditure of agricultural farms. The rising demand of vegetables, oils, and grains has a positive impact on the growth of the industry. The time period involved in innovation and development of new traits restrains the growth of the market
